It's confirmed that today is a FREAKIN HOT day. Called my friend who is a nurse to come see my son, as I was concerned over the heat. Didn't want to take him to his doctor in it.

Blah, lets hope that the weather cools down a bit in Vegas before we all start to show up. </wishful thinking>
I don't want to have anymore of my sandals melt while wearing them by pool 1 this year like they did last year.

right before the rain hit, one of the vegas locals (Patty Walsh, who's speaking this year) told me that there's nothing like the smell of a desert rain storm. she was right, too. i stood outside and was completely blown away by it. didn't know about the flooding, tho.Originally posted by cheHehe.. or it could rain and cause another flood like last year.."I'll admit I had an OiNK account and frequented it quite often… What made OiNK a great place was that it was like the world's greatest record store… iTunes kind of feels like Sam Goody to me.

I walked out of my hotel room after the rain and said: "What is that Smell?" and some other people said: "Dude...that's Vegas when it rains."

are you sure that was caused by the heat and not the water in the pool itself?Originally posted by lil_freak I don't want to have anymore of my sandals melt while wearing them by pool 1 this year like they did last year.If I had a nickle for every time someone offered me ten cents to keep my two cents to myself... I would be a rich man.Comment

i'm willing to bet that it would have been the heat, actually, since i melted a pair of birks at DC9 and no water was around me. it was my second defcon but i'd never seen the vegas strip, so some of us walked to it from the alexis. my sandals had a lot of miles on them already, but that was the straw that broke the camel's back. by the end of the con i had holes developing all over them, my toes were poking through at the tips, and i had to pronounce them pretty much dead when i got back home. thankfully i had a pair of boots with me, but they were really hot. vegas pavement is a killer, man.Originally posted by Siviak"I'll admit I had an OiNK account and frequented it quite often… What made OiNK a great place was that it was like the world's greatest record store… iTunes kind of feels like Sam Goody to me.

Speaking of hydration, anyone have experience with this water pack?
$44 for a 100oz pack looks like a pretty good deal...

worth the price

Put a tiny bit of lemon juice in the water. It'll keep the foul taste from developing and leave you citrus-charged all day. Or something like that.Comment

Yup, I'm sure.Originally posted by Siviak
The heat had a lot to do with it, but I also blame it on the fact that I bought $2.99 Walmart sandals.Originally posted by Deviant Ollam
Yes, but I recomend that if you plan on buying it online that you stay away from REI and go with BackCountry, you'll find that they are easier to deal with and have lower prices.Originally posted by Kai
Oh, something new for me to test out.Originally posted by skroo"It is difficult not to wonder whether that combination of elements which produces a machine for labor does not create also a soul of sorts, a dull resentful metallic will, which can rebel at times". Pearl S. BuckComment

Thanks for the tip. That one is kinda of a "doh" ovbivious one now that you mention it.Originally posted by skrooComment

It works pretty good, and if you add some ice to it, you will have great cold water for long time, if the heat of the desert is way too extreme, you may want to insulate the blader with some coton balls... about the smell, well you should not have a problem with that if you let it dry open and get ride off any remains of water before store it. However if you do have a small problem, take a cup of water and add two spoons of baking soda (NaHCO3) rinse with it, then a filled out with water, add some lemon to it. let it sit for 15 min. (average) rinse twice, and complete the cicle by drying out all the water. after about an hour, it should be good to use again... in the worst escenario... replace the blader.Originally posted by KaiLove is a Mental IllnessComment
